Hi, I am using the following command to start the database: pg_ctl start -p 5432 -D /home/data/www/pg7/data Yes I know, 7.2 is a very old version, but that's what we have to work with for now.. :-( -----Original Message----- From: Raymond O'Donnell [mailto:rod@xxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 2:54 PM To: Akhtar Yasmin-B05532 Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Postgres does not start, gives no error On 03/09/2008 20:11, Akhtar Yasmin-B05532 wrote: > I am facing this peciliar problem.I am using postgres 7.2.2 installed > on solaris. I know this isn't helpful to your particular problem, but 7.2.* is VERY old - in fact, I don't think it's even maintained any more.
